Analysis of Dance of the Poet’s Pen



Upon the empty page
The poet’s pen writes
Frolicking as if in dance
Certainly an oddly sight

Movements so smooth
Flowing with elegance
Occasionally a pause
Then resumes the romance

For the romance
Between pen and page
Has been flirting since
The dawn of the writing age

As words are written down
And gracefully the pen moves
As in the grandest of ballrooms
How the heart lightly woos

Eventually cumulates
To a climatic end
Where the page proudly wears
The dance of the poet’s pen
